Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Abandonment Anxiety

I am looking for online support group... Please help

Thanks!

Great break down I greatly appreciate your services to the world and I woul like to sign up for therapy if you offer it

What’s messed up is I’ve recently called the veterans crisis line, received the most heartless response I’ve ever thought possible. The person was unprofessional and they kept trying to prey on a possible anxious attachment style in me, and also trying to cause executive dysfunction.

Can't tell you how much this video helped & put things in perspective for so many of my past & even recent behaviors.

I really appreciate not only how well this video is put together, but how good+reasonable the recommendations for adjusting the responses/mindsets are...

I wish I had seen this video years ago, but I am very thankful that I get to see it now.

I would love to have an in person discussion with this lady. She seems kind.

Thank you for your channel, it's helpful.

Why is it necessary to distinguish between a person and his behavior?

When does abandonment rise to the level of BPD? Just BPD if you repeatedly destroy your life?

Absolutely a vital share to your damaged friends and family

It’s horrible, it makes me dizzy and I can’t breath

thank you for uploading this informative video. I did not really know what cognitive behavioral approach until this video

For many years I thought my ex had this due to abandonedment from his father but soon came to realise he was just a full blown narcissist who subjected me to over 20 years of domestic violence and subjected his daughters to his narcissim. Thankfully he found a new supply and left. Unfortunately for him his adult daughters have disowned him. But my life is better than I could of imagined and at the end of the day I'm the winner. I've got my girls and my freedom.

Separation anxiety is terrible. Every day i dread leaving the house of my bf and i literally refuse to leave his side.. it takes 1-2 hour for me and us to be able to leave his house :(:(

WoW! So beautiful, sexy and clever

Doc Snipes' VISCERAL System for Trauma Recovery. I love that. 🥰

This is EPIC stuff for me. 🧭 And I am finding this right where and when I need it. Thank you Doc Snipes. I am sooo glad we don't put judgement on emotions as good or bad. That frees me up a lot. It feels bad with bad emotions, but it is bringing necessary information that helps us return to the present moment of control and safety and this is good. There is no way to overall label emotions. We just accept that they ARE and figure out what we are going to do about it! Get curious about my schema is my answer that is perfect for me as a trauma survivor, because it is responsive to me. For me this gives my heart 🗼a place to go in many ways and opens up paths of opportunity to healing experiences that help me on my way.

You are a morning star ...

Some people may not speak about relationships because they don't want to offend someone. This is how I feel it.

Maybe most people don't do their best with their tools, but rather go the easy way, not to say that some people, by using their current set, harm themselves and others, and some even know they are doing wrong

I was deeply traumatized by early childhood of parents' divorce and father's departure. That sense of abandonment caused in me a lifelong sense of isolation, anxiety, and melancholia. In my 70's now, the scar still sits on my shoulders like a thousand pound weight.

It's hard when the person you've got abandonment anxiety around is the person who gave it to u

Is there a technical definition of abandonment anxiety?

So this is really helpful for those who suffer with borderline personality disorder?

I am so glad I found this. I am an adoptee from Moldova, I was abandoned at birth and have also dealt with many abandoning experiences at a young age (best friends passing away, family members passing away, and also my best friend moving away very young), always being an outcast in school, and had a difficult time letting new people into my life, both romantically and when engaged with friendships). I am now 24, a University graduate, and have been in therapy and seen different psycologists for many years due to this. It's been extremely difficult as I'm also an HSP. However, I have made a lot of progress in the past years. Thank you for your content, it truly helps and makes a difference.

this is so helpful thank you ❤️

this is so helpful thank you ❤️

@doc Snipes thank you for the advice, really appreciate it. I'm currently in therapy for DBT, but I feel there's a mental block/barrier to being able to validate my own emotions as I realised I may be gaslighting myself. I don't know how to overcome that, or even know what my needs are. All I know is that I feel like something is very wrong and I can't figure out what it is.

I did an intervention with my father when he had anxiety and panic attacks after his wife's family kicked him out of his home. He was sufering elder abuse. He is definately under the autism spectrum. I pursued further and he revealed things buried in his soul. He was abused by parents who were abused.
Thankfully I and orher siblings reversed the generational sin pattern becase we knew it was wrong and without knowing how deep the issues ran.
The health care model here is broken and he fell through the gaps. I am glad I did but now I have plenty of my own work to do.
The comments demonizing people to be incarcerated are not helpful nor appropriate.
Truth is many are incarcerated in our private hells. One can forgive and set up boundaries or cut all ties. Remember these behaviours are taught and caught.

Thanks for the excellent teaching to be better caregivers and for self care.

Yep. I am completely disconnected

What an absolute beauty... shes stunning

thank you

I have abandonment anxiety in regards to romantic partners but not in general. But it is still debilitating. My triggering event was my g/f of 5 years just ghosted me 6 weeks ago. We still work together though. Every time I see her passing in the halls she purposefully avoids eye contact and quickly walks away. I miss my best friend Deserpately!! I don't know why she chose to break up this way. It is So Painful!! We had a good relationship too!! Two weeks before she decided to leave me she texted me that I was "thee most special person she had ever met in her life PERIOD!" That's verbatum the way she put it. She went on to say, "I miss you So Much... I miss you So Much!!" Then two weeks later she told me she decided to break up with me... She called me and said, "don't call me, don't text me, don't come to my place, and if you try to talk to me at work I'll file a complaint with HR." When she said this I was in Full no contact for the previous two weeks. Before that, I was the one who helped her move out. It was a very tender move out. Lots of tears, lots of hugs, holding, kissing, lots of I love yous... I don't know why she's treating me like this!! It makes me feel like she's angry with me... like I'm a bad person... 😞
If someone can please respond and help me deal with this situation. My anxiety over this experience has been debilitating. I'm terrified I'm not good enough to be in a relationship, that no one will ever love me, that I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life. She was my Best Friend!! We even lived together for 3 years... 3 weeks after moving out she cut herself out of my life Completely!! I did/do define my own self worth based on her opinion of me. So I'm wrecked right now. I can't sleep regularly, my appetite is non existent, I've lost 35 pounds over the past few months, I can't concentrate, my memory is terrible right now, and my sense of self worth is Terrible right now. Please respond 😞

Oh thank god. Not that kind of CBT. Whew.

Thank you for your work. It was really helpful for me. My mother passed away when i was a child and now i have some issues with trusting and i always feel myself really anxious and unsafe when i'm in love. When i feel these feelings i can be very silent and rejecting. I hope i can fix these issues in the future with your advices. Thank you again!

Do you offer one on one sessions?

No doubt You’ve helped so many people! what a brilliant gift you are Dr Snipes thank you so very much

Dear Dr Snipes, why does psychiatry today deliberately use their osuchological-physiacal knowledge against a patient in order to deceive, confuse, weaken, depress, disempower and to manipulate/lure a patient to give personal, sensitive information in order to better get the right therapy, -only to then withhold the therapy?And lie about what passed, twist and deny it? Ignore one's reasons for applying for trauma treatment? Thank you so much if you answer.

Today’s episode to learn! Very interesting, Doc. Glad you are here x

U make me feel funny teach.

I really needed to hear this thank you so much 💯💯❤️

This is the best solutions video I’ve seen! Thank you!!

I think I had this during my high school years

I'm really thankful for your video. You really help me to understand my situation.

I did read the micro expressions of my best friend of 20 years. I tried to shake it off but she actually did ghost me. So my intuition was right.

Thank you 💚 Thank you 💚 Thank you 💚
